lyrics

Happy birthday to the woman I wronged
I’ve made such a mess of it all
So broken hearted pretty much all the time
And feeling suburban
These bottles of bourbon
Don’t lie

Don't rack 'em up
And say goodnight
Don't choose the darkness
For the light
Some things are worth the fight

Happy birthday to the love of my life
I’m feeling so lost for you now
Since we parted I’m a mouse of a man
And these feelings inflate
All the hours we wait
To decide
Happy birthday to you my forsaken bride

Don’t let the sun go down on us
Without a kicking screaming fuss
Or let the bitterness inside
be your guide

Happy birthday to the lover I knew
It seems such a long time ago
Since you’re gone I’m just a bumbling fool
With ears to the ground
How I long for the sound of your call

Happy birthday to the woman I’ve wronged
I’ve made such a mess of it all
So broken hearted pretty much all the time
And feeling suburban
These bottles of bourbon can’t hide

Happy birthday to you my forsaken bride
